Read the Bible

The Bible is how you learn who God is and how to follow Him.

Start with the book of Mark. It is an action packed book that will give you a clear picture of who Jesus is and what He did. Find an easy to read version like the New International Version.

Read Mark 1 today.

Pray

Prayer is simply talking to God. You don't need special words. If you're not sure what to say, you can: thank God for what He's done, ask Him to help you to know Him better, and talk to Him about your day.

Take 1-2 minutes and talk to God today.
